Why Your Roof’s Lead Flashing is So Important
Lead flashing is a vital component of your roof, acting as a flexible, waterproof seal where different parts of the roof meet. This includes areas around chimneys, skylights, dormer windows, valleys, and abutting walls. Its malleable nature allows it to be expertly shaped to create a seamless, impenetrable barrier, directing rainwater away from vulnerable points. Without properly installed and maintained lead flashing, water can easily penetrate your roof structure, leading to damp, rot, and costly internal damage to your home or business property. Investing in quality lead work now prevents significant problems down the line, safeguarding your property's integrity for years to come.

Who We Are
Recognising the Signs Your Lead Flashing Needs Attention
It's easy to overlook your roof's lead work, but several clear indicators suggest it might need repair or replacement. Keep an eye out for:
- Cracks or Tears: Lead can suffer from ‘fatigue’ over time, especially with constant expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, leading to splits.
- Lifting or Detachment: High winds can cause lead to lift, while poor installation or failing mortar can lead to it pulling away from the chimney or wall.
- Discolouration or Staining: Green or white staining on the lead itself, or water stains on internal ceilings and walls near roof penetrations, are clear warning signs.
- Age and Condition: If your lead flashing looks old, brittle, or has been in place for many decades, it's wise to have it inspected, particularly if you're in areas like Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, or Northampton where older properties are common.
Don't wait until a small issue becomes a major leak; early detection saves you time, stress, and money.

01869 943466Our Meticulous Process for Durable Lead Work
At Ox Roofing Ltd, our approach to lead flashing replacement is thorough and professional. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of the damage and identify any underlying issues. Our skilled craftsmen then carefully remove the old, failing lead. We meticulously prepare the area, ensuring the underlying structure is sound before cutting, shaping, and fitting new, high-quality rolled lead sheet. We use traditional lead welding techniques where appropriate, combined with modern fixings and patination oil, to ensure a precise, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing finish. This attention to detail means your new lead flashing won't just look good; it will perform exceptionally, providing robust weather protection for decades.
